Lemon Detox Diet and Colon Cleanse Tips

Rapid Weight Loss is Not What a Detox Diet Should Be Used For

Although you may experience rapid weight loss on the lemon detox diet, its main function is a detox diet through a colon cleanse. As with any detox diet, releasing toxins in the body is serious business and should not be taken lightly.

After years of eating an improper diet, the body starts to feel tired and sickly due to the toxins building up in the body. When first starting any detox diet, such as the lemon detox diet, these toxins are being reintroduced into the body and into the colon for elimination. This can make a person very sick at first. This is why it is important to add a colon cleanse along with the lemon detox diet. You need to eliminate the toxic fecal matter as quickly as possible.

Prior to starting the lemon detox diet, it is recommended that you start with the colon cleanse for the first couple of days. This will help clear the colon of some of the toxic fecal matter before it is burdened with the extra toxins coming in from the detox diet.

The colon cleanse recipe is very simple. Take 1 teaspoon of sea salt or Epson ingestible salt and add it to a 24 ounce glass of warm purified water and drink it immediately. Do this when you are going to be near a bathroom for an extended period of time, for it is quite fast acting. If this is not too uncomfortable, drink two glasses of this colon cleanse recipe, one glass in the morning and one at bedtime.

Now it is time to start the lemon detox diet. The detox diet itself is quite simple and inexpensive, but at the same time not easy. For the next few days all you will be consuming is the detox diet recipe, water and your colon cleansing drink.

The lemon detox diet recipe is as follows: 2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of natural maple syrup, 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder, and 10 ounces of pure water.

Drink a minimum of 60 ounces of this a day. Drink plenty of water and drink your colon cleanse drink at least once a day but no more than twice a day. That is all there is to it.
